A possible mad idea in this vein is that every report is given a quick look over by another contractor, as well as the county, in a sort of active peer review. This does happen anyway in some cases in terms of project monitoring by an outside consultant (doesn't it, or did I imagine that?) but if it happened from top to bottom it might make everyone pull their socks up. Of course, archaeologists being the contrary f***ers they are it would just result in a squabble over every last missed full stop!
